A simple little music video I made during a four-hour stint one night during a fit of inspiration. It came from the fact that I always thought the line "Some mob that brought me here, I know it is my job" was referring to a MOP, not a mob, and evoking the image of Manny slaving away over the mop at Casino Calavera before the first timeskip. As it turns out, those weren't the lyrics, but the idea just wouldn't leave!
At any rate, this is my very first attempt at ANYTHING like this, so be gentle. This was done entirely for fun.
The Grim Fandango clips are courtesy of the Let's Play archive. Many thanks to Tim Schafer and Lucasarts for such a fantastic, timeless game.
EDIT: Heh, sorry about Meche's scream, that was a total novice mistake on my part.

Every so often I come back to see this little piece of art.
It always spills me some tears :)

@gurgurud You are so incredibly kind it makes ME want to spill some tears. <333 THANK YOU SO MUCH. I can't even describe the fuzzy feelings your compliments give me. (And I'm so happy that Double Fine and Tim Schafer are getting the press attention they deserve lately, too. :D)

Eheheh, so far I'm the only "like" on your tumblr post! This song is amazing and very well suited for Grim Fandango. I probably need to look into this band, don't I? Thank you for introducing me to it. 8>

@muarjo Heheheh, it's not quantity, but quality! <333 Thank you so very much! I definitely think they're a band worth listening to, but I am admittedly bias. :D I hope you like them!

You, dear sir, deserve so many internets as a reward for your unmatched brilliance.

@gurgurud I can't really express how happy I am that the small, SMALL cross-section of people this video appeals to appreciate it so much. Seriously, thanks. :)
